Kinjo Akio, noted Okinawan karate researcher and teacher who has traveled to China, Hong Kong and Taiwan well over 100 times for training and researching the roots of Okinawan martial arts, maintains that this kata originally had 13 techniques, but due to a long process of evolution, more techniques were added to it (Kinjo, 1999).
Otsuka Tadahiko, a Gojuryu teacher who has spent considerable time in China and Taiwan researching the roots of his system, tells us that his research indicates Seiunchin may mean "Follow-Move-Power" which would be pronounced Sui Yun Jin in Mandarin Chinese (Otsuka, 1998).
Kinjo Akio says that his research has revealed to him that Seiunchin may be from a Hawk style of Chinese boxing, and mean "Blue-Hawk-Fight" which is pronounced Qing Ying Zhan in Mandarin, or Chai In Chin in Fujian dialect (Kinjo, 1999).

For all of the sophistication and complexity of its influential predecessor, "Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence," writer/director Mamoru Oshii's sequel to his futuristic, animated cyber-thriller "Ghost in the Shell," is a clearer, less abstruse, more impressive movie.
There are normal human beings, cyborgs that house human consciousness within a mechanical body, and dolls, which are robots that look human but possess no trace of humanity.
After a female robot built for sexual pleasure kills her owner, cyborg detective Bateau (voice of Akio Ôtsuka) is assigned to the case.

In his latest show, Kojima started a new segment called "Hidechan's Cafй." Its first guest is Akio Otsuka, the seasoned actor who voices Snake in the Japanese MGS games.
Otsuka's conversation with Kojima will be available in installments over the next few weeks and has already revealed details about the development of MGS4.
In his first talk with Otsuka, Kojima let slip that dialogue for MGS4 will be recorded throughout 2006, and the recording process will take as long as it did with previous entries in the series.

While Wakabayashi sheds light on the artistry and subtlety of the series' sound design, Ôtsuka's comments are a waste of time, consisting mainly of platitudes about how great it is to work on the series and how much he enjoys the company of the other actors.
Troubled by this in-between status, Kusanagi contemplates whether she is in fact a mere mechanical functionary, or if she possesses an emotional and spiritual life independent of her body.
She and her partners -- the literally steel-eyed Batou (Akio Ôtsuka), who retains some fleshy body parts, and newbie Togusa (Koichi Yamadera), as yet not completely cyborg-ed -- constitute a spectrum of possible relationships between bodies and technology.

This kind of bizarre naming, while I appreciate that the producers are just trying to be creative, is something that annoys me. But in the overall package it really isn't all that bothersome.
Two more interviews grace this disc, with Akio Otsuka, the voice of Batou, and Kazuhiro Wakabayashi, the sound director.
We get a few glimpses behind the scenes in the recording studio with the other actors during Otsuka’s interview, as well as plenty of discussion of his thoughts on Batou.
